Mir-19B Enhances Osteogenic Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Huang et al. Experimental & Molecular Medicine (2021) 53:973–985 https://doi.org/10.1038/s12276-021-00631-w Experimental & Molecular Medicine ARTICLE Open Access miR-19b enhances osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells and promotes fracture healing through the WWP1/Smurf2-mediated KLF5/β-catenin signaling pathway Yan Huang1,2, Yongqiang Xu 1, Siyin Feng1,PanHe1, Bing Sheng1 and Jiangdong Ni2 Abstract Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC)-derived exosomes have been found to enhance fracture healing. In addition, microRNAs contributing to the healing of various bone fractures have attracted widespread attention in recent years, but knowledge of the mechanisms by which they act is still very limited. In this study, we clarified the function of altered microRNA-19b (miR-19b) expression in BMSCs in fracture healing. We modulated miR-19b expression via mimics/inhibitors in BMSCs and via agomirs in mice to explore the effects of these changes on osteogenic factors, bone cell mineralization and the healing status of modeled fractures. Through gain- and loss-of function assays, the binding affinity between miR-19b and WWP1/Smurf2 was identified and characterized to explain the underlying mechanism involving the KLF5/β-catenin signaling pathway. miR-19b promoted the differentiation of human BMSCs into osteoblasts by targeting WWP1 and Smurf2. Overexpression of WWP1 or Smurf2 degraded the target protein KLF5 in BMSCs through ubiquitination to inhibit fracture healing. KLF5 knockdown delayed fracture β 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; healing by modulating the Wnt/ -catenin signaling pathway. Furthermore, miR-19b enhanced fracture healing via the KLF5/β-catenin signaling pathway by targeting WWP1 or Smurf2. Moreover, miR-19b was found to be enriched in BMSC-derived exosomes, and treatment with exosomes promoted fracture healing in vivo. Collectively, these results indicate that mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomal miR-19b represses the expression of WWP1 or Smurf2 and elevates KLF5 expression through the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, thereby facilitating fracture healing.

  • Functions of Osteocalcin in Bone, Pancreas, Testis, and Muscle
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Functions of Osteocalcin in Bone, Pancreas, Testis, and Muscle Toshihisa Komori Basic and Translational Research Center for Hard Tissue Disease, Nagasaki University Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, Nagasaki 852-8588, Japan; [email protected]; Tel.: +81-95-819-7637; Fax: +81-95-819-7638 Received: 17 September 2020; Accepted: 10 October 2020; Published: 12 October 2020 Abstract: Osteocalcin (Ocn), which is specifically produced by osteoblasts, and is the most abundant non-collagenous protein in bone, was demonstrated to inhibit bone formation and function as a hormone, which regulates glucose metabolism in the pancreas, testosterone synthesis in the testis, / / and muscle mass, based on the phenotype of Ocn− − mice by Karsenty’s group. Recently, Ocn− − mice were newly generated by two groups independently. Bone strength is determined by bone / quantity and quality. The new Ocn− − mice revealed that Ocn is not involved in the regulation of bone formation and bone quantity, but that Ocn regulates bone quality by aligning biological apatite (BAp) parallel to the collagen fibrils. Moreover, glucose metabolism, testosterone synthesis and / spermatogenesis, and muscle mass were normal in the new Ocn− − mice. Thus, the function of Ocn is the adjustment of growth orientation of BAp parallel to the collagen fibrils, which is important for bone strength to the loading direction of the long bone. However, Ocn does not play a role as a hormone in the pancreas, testis, and muscle. Clinically, serum Ocn is a marker for bone formation, and exercise increases bone formation and improves glucose metabolism, making a connection between Ocn and glucose metabolism.

This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY 3.0), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author and source are credited. ABSTRACT Background: Osteocalcin is related to energy metabolism, memory and the acute stress response, suggesting a relationship between bone and the brain. The need to explore the effect of osteocalcin on acute ischemic stroke is therefore urgent. Results: Patients with better outcomes had higher serum osteocalcin levels than those whose NIHSS scores did not improve. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed acceptable performance (area under the curve = 0.766). The effect of osteocalcin on the promotion of neuron survival was confirmed by Cell Counting Kit-8 experiments. In addition, osteocalcin could decrease proline hydroxylase 1 and inhibit the degradation of gasdermin D. Conclusions: We propose that osteocalcin can improve outcome after acute ischemic stroke in the acute period. By downregulating proline hydroxylase 1, osteocalcin leads glucose metabolism to the pentose phosphate pathway and therefore promotes neuronal survival through inhibiting pyroptosis.

  • The Products of Bone Resorption and Their Roles in Metabolism: Lessons from the Study of Burns
    Concept Paper The Products of Bone Resorption and Their Roles in Metabolism: Lessons from the Study of Burns Gordon L. Klein Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Rehabilitation, University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, TX 77555-0165, USA; [email protected] Abstract: Surprisingly little is known about the factors released from bone during resorption and the metabolic roles they play. This paper describes what we have learned about factors released from bone, mainly through the study of burn injuries, and what roles they play in post-burn metabolism. From these studies, we know that calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium, along with transforming growth factor (TGF)-β, are released from bone following resorption. Additionally, studies in mice from Karsenty’s laboratory have indicated that undercarboxylated osteocalcin is also released from bone during resorption. Questions arising from these observations are discussed as well as a variety of potential conditions in which release of these factors could play a significant role in the pathophysiology of the conditions. Therapeutic implications of understanding the metabolic roles of these and as yet other unidentified factors are also raised. While much remains unknown, that which has been observed provides a glimpse of the potential importance of this area of study.

Therefore, we investigated the efficacy and safety of zinc pharmacotherapy in Japanese elderly patients. The present investigation included 122 osteoporotic patients with zinc deficiency, aged ≥65 years, who completed 12 months of follow-up. In addition to standard therapy for osteoporosis in a clinical setting, the subjects received oral administration of 25 mg zinc (NOBELZIN®, an only approved drug for zinc deficiency in Japan) twice a day. BMD and laboratory data including bone turnover markers were collected at 0 (baseline), 6, and 12 months of zinc treatment. Neither serious adverse effects nor incident fractures were seen during the observation period. Serum zinc levels were successfully elevated by zinc administration. BMD increased significantly from baseline at 6 and 12 months of zinc treatment. Percentage changes of serum zinc showed significantly positive associations with those of BMD. Bone formation markers rose markedly from the baseline values, whereas bone Citation: Nakano, M.; Nakamura, Y.; resorption markers displayed moderate or no characteristic changes.

However, in recent years melatonin has gained much attention mainly because of its demonstrated powerful lipophilic antioxidant and free radical scavenging action. Melatonin has been proven to be twice as active as vitamin E, believed to be the most effective lipophilic antioxidant. Melatonin-induced signal transduction through melatonin receptors promotes the expression of antioxidant enzymes as well as inflammation-related genes. Melatonin also exerts an immunomodulatory action through the stimulation of high-affinity receptors expressed in immunocompetent cells. Here, we reviewed the efficacy, safety and side effects of melatonin supplementation in treating oxidative stress- and/or inflammation-related disorders, such as obesity, cardiovascular diseases, immune disorders, infectious diseases, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, as well as osteoporosis and infertility.

Sometimes it is very difficult to differentiate osteosarcomas histologically from other tumors with similar morphology but with different malignant potential and treatment protocol. The correct diagnosis of OSA relies on identification of osteoid production by malignant cells which can be detected by the use of osteonectin. Materials and Methods: The present study was carried out on 200 patients of benign and malignant lesions of bone. After a detailed clinical history and local examination, paraffin section of resected specimens were studied by hematoxylin and eosin and immunohistochemical stain, osteonectin and matrix was graded on a four-tiered grading system with statistical analysis of osteonectin positivity in osteogenic bone tumours and tumour-like lesions. Results: Benign and malignant tumours accounted for 74.6% and 25.0% of the total cases. Osteoid production were seen in 36 cases (100.0%) of osteosarcomas, followed by fibrous dysplasia in 18 cases (100.0%) and osteoid osteoma in 10 cases (100.0%). Both polygonal and spindle shaped tumour cells in osteosarcoma showed Grade 4 positivity with osteonectin.
